    Hi @Edivania Aquino,

    Good day and thank you for outlining your concern so clearly.

    The message you’re seeing indicates that your work account is being prompted to complete security verification, most commonly for setting up multi‑factor authentication (MFA), or adding security information (phone number, authenticator app, or backup email)

    This is a standard Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) security requirement and is usually enforced by your organization’s IT policies. The “8 days remaining” notice means verification will become mandatory after that period, and sign‑in may be blocked if it’s not completed.

    Please follow these steps using your work account (not a personal Microsoft account):

    1. Sign in with your company email address
    2. When you see the prompt below please click next:
      Pop-up window showing Let's keep your account secure message when signing in.
    3. They will ask you to set up another method. Choose add sign in method:

    1. Save your changes and sign out
    2. Sign back in to confirm the setup is complete

    Once this is done, the warning message should no longer appear.

    More information about it at: Verifying your identity when signing in - Microsoft Support

    Because your account is company‑managed, Microsoft community moderators like me cannot override or bypass the security requirement.

    If you’re unable to access the security‑info page, no longer have access to the required phone number or email address, or the setup process fails or keeps looping, you’ll need to contact your company's IT or internal support team for assistance. Ask them to reset your security verification or temporarily disable and re‑enroll multi‑factor authentication (MFA) for your account, as only your organization’s administrators have the permissions required to make these changes.

    You can provide them this article for more guidance: Manage authentication methods for Microsoft Entra multifactor authentication - Microsoft Entra ID |…

     

    I hope this provides enough clarity and helps you stay inform with your current situation.

    To continue signing in to the SERHANT work account after seeing the “Let’s keep your account secure” message, another verification method must be set up for the work/school (Microsoft Entra ID) account.

    Follow these steps:

    1. On the “Let’s keep your account secure” screen during sign-in, select Next.
    2. Follow the prompts to add at least one additional verification method (for example, phone, email, or an authenticator app), as required by the organization.
    3. Complete the verification steps (enter the code sent to the chosen method or approve the prompt in the authenticator app).
    4. After setup is complete, sign-in will continue and the account will have the extra security method configured.

    If the prompt is skipped, it can only be skipped for a limited time (such as 24 hours at a time, up to several days). After that, adding another verification method becomes mandatory before sign-in can continue. If there are issues completing the setup or if the required methods are unclear, contact the organization’s IT administrator or help desk for assistance, as only they can change the security requirements for the SERHANT account.
